Protection built for higher education
Three products, one platform. Access, intrusion, and visitor and identity management share one operational picture across the whole campus.
Access Control
Manage every door, gate, residence hall, and lab from one cloud dashboard.
Control the whole campus
Role- and schedule-based access for students, faculty, and contractors across every building.
Halls, labs, and high-traffic buildings
Handle after-hours residence-hall entry, restrict labs and research areas, and use turnstiles or entry booths for gyms and common areas.
Credentials at turnover scale
Mobile credentials keep high-volume, high-turnover populations manageable each semester.
Intrusion Connect
Secure labs, research facilities, and unoccupied buildings during breaks and overnight.
Protect research and IP
Restrict and monitor labs, research facilities, and sensitive equipment.
Detection triggers response
Intrusion panels connect to access control, so a detection event triggers lockdown, alerts, and correlated video.
Fewer false alarms
Verify events with video before dispatching a response.
Acre Identity
Manage visitors, contractors, and large campus events on one platform.
Screen and credential visitors
Pre-registration and kiosk check-in with photo ID and watchlist screening issue time-limited credentials.
Built for events
Handle contractors and large campus events without slowing entry.
Auditable logs and alerts
Instant arrival alerts and a complete record of every visit.

Yes. The cloud platform centralizes every building and entry point, with remote administration.
Credentials are issued, updated, and revoked remotely, with mobile and student-ID options and automated expiry.
Schedule-based access governs housing and after-hours entry, while restricted zones combine access control, intrusion detection, and video.
Offline failover keeps access systems running, and data syncs automatically when the connection returns.
Acre supports readiness with secure data handling, audit trails, mass notification, and configurable reporting.
Deployments are phased, work with existing systems, and scale as the campus grows.
